Fx Bb I can't believe they won't do a blood test.

Fx Bb I can't believe they won't do a blood test.

My OB wouldn't do any blood work until my first appointment even though I'd had 3 previous losses (including 1 the cycle before I got pregnant this time.) Reason being if it is a m/c or chemical, nothing can be done so they don't want to put in the order or have to charge your insurance if they don't have to.

I'm in the UK so don't have to pay anyway. I would have liked to have had them so if they were dropping at least I could prepare.

I'm feeling nauseous but not sure if it's just worry.

 

[wavescrash]

Ah that's true... things are done differently over there. I just know that's part of the reason the OBs I've seen won't do anything about it.

 

[morganwhite7]

It was kind of the same for me BB.. the OB wouldn't do ANYTHING for me, esp take a beta hCG.. BUT I did go to the emergency room, where they took them and ordered me come back in 48 hrs for more testing.. So maybe an emergency room would take you a bit more seriously?

 

[brunettebimbo]

I'm not in any pain though. I can't go in and say my test was positive and now it's barely visible so can they do bloods. Doesn't work like that here unfortunately.

I wondered that, too, Morgan!

Holy cow I am like.. STARVVVVING! On the verge of nausea starving. I just are cheeseans crackers 20 minites ago... 3 hours before that some peanut butter toast. It's kinda ridiculous. I'm nervous about eating too much that I gain too much and not eating enough and starving the baby. Lol.

 

[morganwhite7]

^Haha.. pig out! You've got an excuse

Really though, it's okay to an extent.. I had a bowl of oatmeal at 9 then some trail mix with nuts/raisins (..maybe m&m’s too! ) and an apple at 10. Now babybelly is rumbling once again and I'm about to go back for more! I just stock up the fridge at work with good food every Monday.. trail mix, granola/yogurt, cottage cheese, fresh fruit, even pb&j on the menu for lunch today! Haha

 

[Cowgirl07]

Great now I'm hungry again.

 

[morganwhite7]

I'll make it a bit worse... Just wanted to say the most delicious craving I've had so far is fresh sliced tomatoes
and mozzarella, drenched in zesty Italian dressing. Super fresh and filling and yum

 

[HWPG]

i've been eating more also - but like morgan said, i try to steer towards "good" choices - high fiber cereal, cottage cheese, yogurt. but not gonna lie, this could be my one opportunity to have a donut in the middle of the day, and i'm going to. i can work it off afterwards!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Yum I'd rather have it on a slice of flat bread with some pesto sauce.
Mine doesn't really go towards a good cause.

 

[morganwhite7]

^Sure it does Katrina, working on a healthy home for future LO!

Mirolee- I asked hubby to bring home Krispy Kremes the other day (was craving them at night, and he was running to the gas station..) and he brought back the glazed raspberry filled ones. I ate THREE then looked at the calories.............. 350 PER DONUT! My entire daily caloric intake at one sitting.. We had guests the next day, who I forced to eat the rest so I wouldn't.

Waves- I'm so lucky DH got the job he has now.. he's also super relaxed and tends to assume things will just "fall into place" when the time comes.. No man we've got bills to pay and a baby on the way!

 

[wavescrash]

I envy those of you with better diets than me. I'm a very picky eater and have a huuuuge issue with food textures. So many foods make me gag simply by how it feels in my mouth lol. For example, Morgan your tomatoes and mozz sounds delicious but I don't like tomatoes and I wish I did.

Flipped out on OH this morning after having a meltdown over stress and money. He means well but just isn't proactive about making our situation better. I'm always finding job listings on Craigslist and thru friends but 8 times outta 10 he doesn't follow up on them. A friend told me to let him worry about bills/rent since he's the working person in the house but he doesn't worry about it. He brings home the money but I pay the bills and remind him to go pay rent. I do all the shopping. So naturally I freak out when I know we're not going to be okay. He doesn't. I'd finally had enough and flipped out lol. He's currently filling out some applications so fingers crossed something comes of it. I'm just so tired of being stressed.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Lol I guess. Trying to get my bmi up so my Dr doesn't complain to much.

 

[goldstns]

Waves- I agree...no point in storing the milk if I don't let him use it. Thx!

however, I asked him this morning and he didn't feed her!!! Meaning she slept 6 hr straight!! She spoiled me..I can only hope shell keep doing that. After the 3am feeding she did a 4 hr stretch.

dh is also spoiling me. He's cooking a crock pot dinner right now....he almost NEVER cooks dinner...so this is a special treat.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Nikki- you deserve it!

 

[brunettebimbo]

Bleeding has begun. Loss number 2

 

[Cowgirl07]

Hugs Bb.

 

[wavescrash]

Aw Nikki glad she let you sleep I remember waking up when Hannah was little freaking out thinking I slept through her cries when she was really just sleeping longer stretches. I'm so dreading the every 2 hour thing at night lol. Especially since once Hannah's up for the day, no naps for me!
